Christmas Cork Crafts

Despite my blog's name, I really haven't done many non-sewing crafts in recent years... but this year is different!

Plum Harper Tunic

Am I the only one who has a to-sew list a page long, but ends up making completely random, off-queue projects?

 I've been on a bit of a pantscapade recently... an elastic waist odyssey, if you will.

Staley Top, AKA The Rooster

 Am I alone in that I can literally hear one word and end up with a song in my head for a week?

House Morrighan Poppy Bralette

I've been going back and forth about bra-making for a while now. On one hand, wanting to delve into lingerie sewing and bramaking to hopefully find a unicorn bra that fits well and is comfy. On the other hand, I've also been intimidated by all the specialty findings and do-dads you need for this activity...

McCall's 6044: The '90s Shirt

It's been a while since I've sewn Tim a new shirt, and a lot of his fun summer shirts were looking a little faded... enter the funnest of fun shirts.

ESMadebyMe: Florence Pants and Georgia Tee

You all knew I was going to try the recently released Elizabeth Suzann patterns, right? I mean... elastic waist, boxy tops. It's basically my uniform these days.

Caftan Crew: Envelope Dress x 2

I saw my family for the first time in many months over the 4th of July holiday... I knew that there would have to be some sort of caftan and cocktail celebration, so I set about making it happen!

Mother's Day Outfit: Joss and Cielo

I finally got to take some photos of the outfit I made my mom for Mother's Day (and I finally got to see her since travel between Vermont and some parts of Massachusetts has eased up a bit!)...

Caftans and Cocktails!


I hope you’re all ready for a bit of frivolity… I know I am!


Loni, of Havin’ Sew Much Fun fame, and I are teaming up for a high-fun, low-pressure sewing and socializing event for the summer: Caftans and Cocktails. If anything can take your mind off the current craziness in the world it’s dressing up in a bright, oversize swooshy dress and pouring yourself a drink.

I've had another Paper Theory Zadie jumpsuit on my list for about a year now, and I just finally got around to making another one!

Fish Print Elbe Trigg Shorts

Definitely some wishful summer sewing going on here... we're not even close to shorts weather here yet, although it did feel quite warm this past Sunday!
